Reportedly, Ramazzotti saying that Mourinho got off the Inter bus Sunday and grabbed him by the arms, telling him to leave a nearby area reserved for Inter Channel.Here is the thing guys. Ramazzotti telling Mourinho that he had been authorized by both clubs to access the area.Anyway, Mourinho was not supposed to give the POST MATCH interview because he was not coaching, the interviews were going to be handled by his coach assistant Giuseppe Baresi, also directing the game.

As reported by Il Corriere dello Sport on Monday, December 14, Moratti called Andrea Ramazzotti and apologized for the incident.

Tension with Mourinho and Italian Press lately has soured lately.  For example, yesterday, I watched La Domenica Sportiva and they were commenting on the Mourinho - Ramazzotti issue and talking about Mourinho's behavior.  Supposedly, Mourinho even declines to talk to some media too...

What a dilemma!!!  The Italian Sport Union of Journalists (USSI), already upset by Mourinho's confrontational attitude towards reporters recently,has urged Moratti to act against his coach.

Hey, imagine dealing with the "Special One." A tough situation for Inter President Massimo Moratti who was not present during the altercation and limiting to say he was going to investigate about it.   "For the moment I don't want to comment as I still don't have all the facts, but I'm sorry.  I will talk to the head of the union to find out what he means by 'strong action'," Moratti added.  Maybe Moratti now missing the good old day with former coach Roberto Mancini?

A statement by the USSI union said: "The physical and verbal aggression of Inter coach Jose Mourinho towards our colleague Andrea Ramazzotti marks one of the lowest and alarming moments in the relations between soccer and sporting press.

"Mourinho was already cited, prior to the Champions League game with Rubin Kazan, for his uneducated and disrespectful tone that he used towards certain colleagues.  This aggression marks an irresponsible and unacceptable escalation. USSI expresses not only its indignation, but a strong concern for gestures and the unspeakable behaviour that only increases tensions and controversies.  It asks president Moratti to intervene energetically so that a member of his club (Mourinho) adapts to the great tradition of civility of the club and of the Moratti family."

Moreover,  the FIGC (Italian Football Federation) investigating the case Mourinho - Ramazzotti, as informed by FIGC Prosecutor Stefano Palazzi.
